Meet Our Fluffy Coworkers
In honor of National Pet Day, we’d like to highlight some of our favorite coworkers - our pets! Aren’t they adorable?
Name: Atlas
Age: 2 years old
Born: Sweden
Owner: Skuli
Favorite toy: Tennis balls that squeaks (the louder, the better applies to all toys)
Favorite pastime: Stick destroying
Favorite food or snack: Liver paté (the only food that I steal from my baby human, it's worth it ) or lamb, the smell when it is being boiled makes him forget how dogs are supposed to sound and move
Cool tricks or fun quirks: We taught him to walk in between our legs as a trick when he was small, now it has become a bit of a challenge since he still enjoys doing this but is a lot bigger
Funny/cute habits: He sleeps where we are at all times and as close to them as he can, and if they are spread out he goes by size (he usually picks the smallest person). Also, if he has to burp he hurries to one of his humans so he can burp in their face
Favorite memory together: So many good ones! He loves when we go on trips to cabins, somewhere far away where he can run around freely. Especially when there is snow or water to swim in. But he always loves being outside together with our whole family
Name: Bosse
Age: 6
Born: Romania (rescue)
Owner: Hedvig R
Favorite toy: This yellow loop
Favorite pastime: Lying on top of people, sleeping on them or cuddling
Favorite food or snacks: Banana
Cool tricks or fun quirks: Needs to be in someone’s lap at all times.
Favorite memory together: Going to the beach, he gets incredible zoomies. Or all the times he lies on top of you and sooner or later you need to move and he gets slightly offended
Name: Cesar
Age: 10 Months
Born: Huddinge, Sweden
Owner: Henrik
Favorite toy: The remnants of what used to be a pig plushie
Favorite pastime: Walks, meeting other dogs, sniffing everything!
Favorite food or snacks: Various meats
Cool tricks or fun quirks: Does a pretty good high five
Funny/cute habits: The way he sits, not on his hind legs, but on his butt, with legs out to the side. He looks very goofy
Favorite memory together: Every time you come home to be greeted by Cesar is a favorite memory!
Name: Elvis
Age: 3
Born: Stockholm
Owner: Malin
Favorite toy: Chewing on his owner’s hand
Favorite pastime: Watching birds or napping
Favorite food or snacks: Shrimp and turkey
Cool tricks or fun quirks: He can sit on command and shake his paw
Funny/cute habits: He likes to flush the toilet when he’s bored and must always sniff guests' shoes
Favorite memory together: Sometimes it can take quite a long time for cats to get comfortable with their new owners, but already on the second night he decided to sleep right next to our faces all night. It was after that that he became inseparable from us.
Name: Fenix
Age: 6
Owner: Fredrik
Favorite toy: Soft and fluffy yellow toy bird
Favorite pastime: Sleeping
Favorite food or snacks: A few licks of olive brine
Cool tricks or fun quirks: Fall over and start to roll around
Funny/cute habits: Sometimes shakes his fluffy head, it looks both cute and crazy at the same time
Names: Larry (Sheltie) and Pete (Brittany)
Age: 4 months (Larry) and 2 (Pete)
Born: Washington State
Owner: Amber
Favorite toy: Larry loves his stuffed carrot and Pete likes to play with a stuffed hammer
Favorite pastime: Running around the backyard and digging holes together in their secret hideout on the side of the house
Favorite food or snacks: Larry enjoys dog cookies and Pete loves any and all people food
Cool tricks or fun quirks: Pete is currently learning how to bird hunt! Larry is just a puppy, so currently the only trick he knows how to do is sit, but he also enjoys chasing his tail
Favorite memory together: Watching them play with their toddler sister
Names: Naruto (orange tabby) & Yuriy (calico)
Age: Naruto is around 4 & Yuriy is 3
Owner: Pon
Favorite toy: Stick with feathers at the end, old broken plastic ball and the cardboard strips from cartons of crushed tomatoes
Favorite pastime: Naruto enjoys screaming, sleeping, licking plastic and opening kitchen drawers until his mommies put baby locks on them. Yuriy loves sleeping in the warmest spots available (like an overheated laptop) and rushing around the apartment in a wild one-cat frenzy.
Favorite food or snacks: Naruto loves hard boiled egg yolks and Yuriy prefers cream or anything she can steal from the counter
Cool tricks or fun quirks: As mentioned earlier, Naruto has learned how to open kitchen drawers, standing on his hind legs like a person and everything. It's very impressive but also not great for safety reasons. Yuriy's special quirk is her ability to stare you down until you give her the attention she craves. She is also very good at using her little hook hands to grab things.
Funny/cute habits: Naruto’s purr is pretty low but he is an intense purrer and if he’s in your lap he will constantly vibrate from happiness. Yuriy is a heat seeker in general, she will be glued to any hot spot and when night arrives, she will wait until I go to bed and she will be my little spoon every night without fail.
Favorite memory together: With Naruto one of my fondest memories is when our second cat Yuriy was new, she was isolated in the bedroom, meaning Naruto was not allowed inside. This upset him especially because of the stress of a new family member, he would be upset all night when nobody was around. So I decided to sleep on the couch for a couple of weeks to keep him company, and every night during those two weeks when I curled up on the couch, Naruto would come lay stretched out by my legs and sleep. My favorite memory with Yuriy is probably the first time she learned how to climb into my sweater to sleep on my stomach while I was working from home.
Names: Nyx (white/blue) and Kite (yellow)
Age: 2 years
Owner: Tegan
Favorite toy: Coconut-fiber and cork wood hanging…. thing
Favorite pastime: Flying in circles around the room
Favorite food or snacks: Mille or Nutriberries
Cool tricks or fun quirks: Nyx - Climbing anything and everything. Kite - skittering across the floor eating up dropped millet seeds
Funny/cute habits: ‘Talking’! Well, copying the human’s intonation of certain phrases “What doing? Where going? Hello! OI!”
Favorite memory together: Singing along to BabyMetal while our human was assembling our cage on the day we came home!
Name: Trussel
Age: Almost a year
Owner: Therése
Favorite toy: Circus Tunnel
Favorite pastime: Zooming, popcorning and showing her fluffy butt
Favorite food or snacks: Fresh grass and omega-3 sweets
Cool tricks or fun quirks: She likes to run around on beds and sofas and jump back to us over and over!
Funny/cute habits: Wants to be squished at all times, preferably in a hammock
Trussel constantly craves attention, even when anyone is gaming at home. At all times, you’ll see her nose poking up in the corner of her cage because she is very curious. She likes to be close to the rest of her herd but they sometimes find her a little bit annoying. Maybe because she is always stealing all the comfy places or maybe it is because she likes to use another herd member as a staircase to jump on.
Name: Xena!
She was probably born on the streets of Sicily in 2015, or maybe she wasn’t and her family abandoned her suddenly because she got injured and lost a front paw. She was found by her new family the day of New Year’s Eve in 2017 who took Xena to a vet to fix her arm injury! Now she's a regular lively cat who loves to jump on everything and runs very fast, despite missing a leg!
Owner: Debora
Favorite toy: A fake fishing rod, she loves to punch anything that hangs around!
Favorite pastime: Sleeping, obviously
Favorite food or snacks: Everything branded Purina (their sponsor bxw cat also looks like Xena)
Cool tricks or fun quirks: I rear up like a horse when I want attention
Funny/cute habits: She likes to play specifically during the night, after everyone gets into bed. She also brings her favorite toy to us by transporting it in her mouth around the apartment, making a lot of noise. She also sleeps with her tongue hanging out when she’s very tired
Favorite memory together: The moment we met and when she got saved by the vet
